Thread regarding General Motors layoffs

Is the T1 selling?

Is the new pickup selling well? I see a lot of advertising for it with rather large discounts, it seems like they shouldn’t have to discount a brand new vehicle so heavily. It also seems like the Silverado is consistently being beaten in sales by the Dodge Ram. If they lose sales on this cash cow, they won’t be able to lay people off fast enough. Unless they make up the profits in sales of EVs and AVs....

How is that joint venture with Navistar to re-enter the medium Duty market? The nearest Nav-International dealership has had the same truck in their inventory since March.
The only Silverado 4500 and higher ones are jammed into medium duty franchises and covered with seagull droppings

In my department, they would bash Consumer Reports for publishing "fake reviews of GM vehicles" because they were "out to get GM."

They could never explain why, though.

Too bad they didn't see the bad reviews as constructive criticism that could be used to do a better job in the future.

They just kept doing what they always did.

Face it, Mary Barra destroyed the company. Where she should have been focusing on creating great product, her and her incompetent CFO instead focused on reducing headcount and making future dream vehicles for Electric and Autonomous. Have you seen the latest Cadillac review in Consumer Reports...again bottom of the pack.

T1 is garbage. Worse garbage than the K2 with all of it’s recalls and class action law suits. Wait until the class actions start showing up on T1. What we did on those transmissions is shameful.

Right on. It would be interesting to see, if GM throws the CEO and CFO out on their a$$e$, if they do anything to make up for all the pain and suffering they caused all the good people they fired.

Ram is k–ling it.

This is FCA nation now. Not only do people want their products more, they don't have the baggage that GM and Ford drag around for laying off so many people while times were good.

Everyday people know, and/or remember. They remember Flint, Pontiac, Warren, Poletown, etc... People that work in the industry remember more intimantly. I happen to think that one day, GM might become its own outcast even among Detroit. With GM abandoning world markets in droves, it sounds more like a core company problem rather than a localized problem.

I mean what markets are really left for them to profit? US and China? That's not a Hail Mary or an act of desperation at all.
